What the job involves

We’re looking for a Staff Technical Writer to make Webflow’s developer documentation a strategic advantage and own the portal that enables the ecosystem of our WXP
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Product Management
As a Staff Technical Writer, you’ll own Webflow’s end‑to‑end developer docs and information architecture of developers.webflow.com, serving as the lead for docs quality, structure, and consistency
Plan, write, and edit API references, guides, “getting started” tutorials, and runnable examples along-side our developer platform team’s releases
Define the developer docs style guide and play a key contributor role in creating our API standards
Partner early with Product/Engineering to guide standards and ensure consistency across the platform
Innovate in docs delivery and guiding content that improves time‑to‑first‑success and our ease of finding answers

In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role

Our take

No-code development systems allow users to create and publish the kind of output that was once only possible with the help of a team of developers. Webflow is one such platform that allows non-developers to create professional websites without knowing any code. It joins others such as Pantheon, Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix in a hotly-contested low-code development market. While competition is high, so too is demand, with low-code platforms accounting for more than 65% of application development activity in 2024.

The popularity of platforms such as Webflow is perhaps not surprising, as low-code development is usually cheaper for companies to implement and reduces time to market. Webflow has been used by over 3.5 million designers and teams to create sites for companies including enterprise brands such as Dell, Rakuten, UpWork, and Petal. It raised a large amount of funding in a Series C round in 2022. This is being used to further develop its platform, with a longer-term goal of pivoting to providing a no-code tool not only for websites, but software development as well.
